(54) Printing press


(57) A new-plate holding unit holds a surface of a new plate in a width direction on a new-plate insertion path. A movement constraining unit constrains the new-plate holding unit to move in a direction of inserting the new plate, with a margin in the width direction of the new plate. A pressing unit presses the new-plate holding unit in a direction in which the new-plate holding unit is constrained with a constant force by a distance equivalent to a moving distance of the new plate. A position returning unit presses the new-plate holding unit to be returned from a position where the new-plate holding unit is pressed to a position before being pressed.
